    I can't see how; the MOO ignores all of the Telnet protocol messages and just
    interprets each character as it arrives, throwing away non-printing,
    non-newline ones.  This hasn't changed in 1.8.0alphaN in any way that would be
    significantly different from the behavior in 1.7.9p2 (at least, not
    intentionally).
